Next door to Tablerock Brew Pub...excellent location, and near BSU too. Enjoyed Tablerock when I was in Boise to do some stuff at NIFC (fire center), and loved the bike path along the river for runnng. Hope your biz is a success.

Hey Bluebone! Glad you're enjoying the story so far. Unfortunately, that Alaska trip has been put on hold for a bit. And I'm missing out on Baja in a month with my Dad and bro. That sucks, but the time was now to start this little business venture. One of those "Fuck it, PUNCH IT!!!" moments in life (alluding towards past fuck it, punch it moments on the bike). My riding and writing will suffer greatly the next two years. But, I sincerely hope making the sacrifice now to get this company off the ground, will pay dividends for me in the future. Both in personal success and happiness, as well as the ability to take more time off once it becomes self sustaining.

I am most happy to hear that you are enjoying the thread. I had a lot of fun riding those miles. Keep reading!

Life has been insane the past few weeks. So much so that I've asked my bro to write the report from our road trip. There's nothing exciting to tell on my end about the legs to Boise and back without my brother an 'leenpockets. I'll just have one little section to write when we were separated for a few hours, but that's all I can find time for. He'll be using a combination of my photographs and his.

I at least wanted to say hi tonight and things are going really well right now.

This is hands down the best moto promo I've ever watched. Words cannot describe how awesome this is. A half hour of amazing cinematography, killer hopped up Tigers, and two outstanding riders. Seriously, seriously watch this video.

Yeah all I saw was a skidplate, and then figure exhaust and suspension work. So maybe what, $3-4k not counting the paint job?

I agree on the gear. I'm not a fan of Icon anyway. I have a pair of their boots (my first pair) and while comfy, the quality is HORRIBLE. They look like complete crap after only a few months of use, so I don't even wear them anymore. Emails to the factory about it went unanswered.

Likewise, Alpinestars is kinda on my sh-- list too. They did okay when they replaced some street boots that turned out to not be waterproof, but they ignored me when I told them my Tech 2's started coming apart after a creek crossing. And now the street boots look almost as bad as the Icons, all from the shift lever. Until I can replace them with some street Sidis, I'm stuck with them. For adventure touring though, I just got a set of Sidi Adventure Rain boots, which rock.

Life is good. Just sayin... I know the riding and writing has slacked. But life is fun right now and great things are on the horizon. This thread will by no means die. This thread is home for me and many cool new rides will be posted. I promise. I ain't fading away. Just getting the next phase set up... Just you wait and see

We went for a ride last weekend, Tyson and I have been too busy preparing for the grand opening of The Backcountry Pursuit tomorrow to write however. I will say that riding a 5 inch wide strip of single track mud surrounded by snow and cut into the side of a mountain is...exhilarating!

Hi all!
The business is up and running! I've actually had some time to do some riding the past two Mondays. That means I have three ride reports to catch up on. Life is getting back to normal and one of your favorite threads will be back in full swing soon! Things are great and the Tiger has been getting a few miles. Talk to ya soon! This thread will not die! Promise.
